Listening caution
Do not play your earphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
Pay attention to the surrounding environment
(traffic) when using the earphones while walking.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle.
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
